Quantum Matter at the Leiden Institute of Physics

The Institute Lorentz has several dynamic active research efforts in the direction of quantum matter consisting of the groups of Carlo Beenakker (quantum mesoscopics, topological states of matter; quantum information); Vadim Cheianov (topological matter; non-equilibrium physics) and Koenraad Schalm (quantum criticality and strange metals; non-equilibrium physics).

There are close connections with the groups of Vedran Dunjko, Evert van Nieuwenberg, and Jordi Tura on quantum information and computing, quantum devices and Advanced Quantum Algorithms.

The experimental Quantum Matter and Optics groups at the Leiden Institute of Physics are well known for their long history of research in strongly correlated systems.

Kaveh Lahabi (strongly correlated systems), Sense Jan van der Molen (van der Waals materials) and Semonti Bhattacharya (van der Waals materials) groups are the most closely related.

Tjerk Oosterkamp and Bas Hensen (quantum limits and gravitational entanglement), and Dirk Bouwmeester, Wolfgang Loeffler and Michiel de Dood (quantum optics) study closely adjacent questions.

All groups are embedded in the Leiden Institute of Physics, which features a broad research spectrum ranging from biological and soft matter to quantum matter and cosmology, as well as a long-standing tradition of excellence in physics research.

The institute offers access to state-of-the-art research facilities and fosters an international atmosphere with strong interactions among the various groups.
